I'm at my parent's house in Arizona. And I always get a little wordy with my posts when I'm out here in the country. All this fresh air clears my head, I think. :)

I've been keeping up this site for a long time - going on six whole years! (how did that happen?!) I've been a blog reader for even longer, and by now, I've learned a bit as both a producer and a consumer of creative sites. It feels like there's a change in the wind lately, doesn't it?

All of us content-producers that work for ourselves, we're all trying to figure out our place in this fast-paced, idea-sharing world - with its Pinterests and Tumblrs and Instagrams (and now Vines!). I know it's weird to be on the content-consumer end of things right now as well. Blogging is such a new, and kind of weird media. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, we are not (which I think is part of the charm and allure of blogging). As we all know, most of the time, blogs are run by one person, out of their home, who happens to have a passion, who wants to share it, and who hopes to eventually make a fair wage for their labors. We're still trying to figure out the money bit. What's appropriate when we genuinely feel that our readers are our friends, and when we're often talking about deeply personal things? You readers are front and center as we muddle through all of this and more: sponsorship opportunities, attending and feeling the need to report on conferences about blogging, then also dealing with difficult "real life" situations as well as just the small-scale highs and lows of everyday life. And then of course (!), producing content all the while.

I've tried to be better about this in recent years, but back in the day I felt like I had to have a project *done* before I shared it here. It wasn't like that in the very beginning though. When I first started blogging, I was openly sharing everything I had on my mind - big and small. When no one's reading your site (and with no mean-spirited comments occasionally coming in) there's nothing to be self-conscious of. When I started getting more traffic (and some of those less-fun comments), I noticed myself holding back a little more. Also, some of the real joy of sharing was starting to leave, which is a bummer for me to think about.

Well, I've decided to let go a little, to get back to basics. And I'm determined to reclaim some of that lost joy, especially now that my interiors business is doing well and other media opportunities are opening up to me. I know now that I'm not blogging as a means to an end. It's the blogging itself that I think I love the most. So, how to make that more sustainable and more fun?

As a blog reader, I know that I love getting to know the writer behind the blog as much as I love their great content. I love the small projects just as much as (sometimes even more than) the grandiose room reveals. I like feeling like I'm along for the ride as the blogger lets me get inside his/her head. This is where bloggers can differentiate themselves from the other social media outlets. We can dig deeper into the story. We can share more.

And what's the point if we're not? Might as well stick with Instagram.

I know this is a rather wordy, out-of-left-field post, and I don't mean to pull back the curtain in an unsavory way. And I don't write it to make any sort of announcements about the future of this site. But, as my site redesign and url change (!!!) are finally reaching completion (and after several lengthy, late-night conversations with other bloggers at Alt), I've come to the realization that if I want to keep going with LGN, I need to be willing to share more. All with less worry for what other people think of my projects and my style, because that is the whole point. I named this site Little Green Notebook after an idea journal I used to keep in my bag (before the days of iPhones) that would record all my notes to self. Project ideas with sketches, shopping lists, clothes and shoes to save up for, stores to look up online, dreams and goals. So, all that to say, I hope you keep joining me here during the week as I get back to sharing more of these things again. I love, love, love having you. I imagine you all as my girlfriends that I feel comfortable enough to have over even when my house is a bit messy. Thanks for being so chill, thoughtful, respectful and cool to me as I put my ideas and my personal life out there. :)

I did this little project last week. As I snapped the photos I thought, no one is going to care about a piece of ribbon on a lampshade in an unfinished room. But those sound like the worries of Old Jenny, don't they? And New Jenny digs simple, achievable projects and shares. So, onward with the post!

Before I went to Alt, I was changing the girls' sheets, dreaming/lamenting about how much I want to do to their room this year (like new bedding - stat!). In the spirit of making small, but impactful changes, I decided there needed to be more red in the room. I ran down to the lamp graveyard (as Michael calls it) in the basement and grabbed this tomato red ginger jar lamp (seen here previously). I wish I had a black paper shade on hand, but this cheapy white one from Target worked too. (It is so hard to pass up those dang uno shades at Target. They are SO inexpensive and accessible! I just wish they would make more shades that work with harps. Same with IKEA's shades).

Table lamps in kids rooms can look a little stuffy, you know? So one of my favorite tricks is to glue colorful trim to the top and bottom lips of the shade. Instant whimsy! (...I hate myself a little bit for saying that word). Like with almost every textile project I do, I used MagnaTac here (but Fabritac works equally well). Also, I used to recommend grosgrain for trimming out shades, but I think something with more stretch and give works best with shades that have any kind of sloped sides. This orange and violet vintage woven trim I picked up from SAS in Phoenix worked perfectly. Just roll under and glue the last inch where the ends meet to prevent fraying.

Five minutes of gluing later, I had some tangy, bright persimmon red in the room, and I felt better about the space. And (to bring it all back home) isn't that what it's all about? Small and simple steps. :)

Thanks again for sticking around, friends. Here's to six more years of DIY adventures on this little piece of the interwebs.

When taking into consideration a computer/laptop, do you know that Which you need to know just before your purchase? Here appear to be some Tips to consider...

If the computer is going to be utilized for games or movies as a priority, then a screen and video card appear to be the essential what things to consider. In this case a desktop computer would most likely be best as It's less difficult to upgrade your video card and your video output device. Also, with games and movies the hard disk should be really big If you save any of these input. with a desktop it is possible to often add a lot more difficult drives with ease.

If the computer is going to be employed for Creating spreadsheets, Word documents, or video presentations then either type of system would do. The only actual consideration here could be the ease of typing the input. The keyboard on a desktop is easier to type on for most people. However, In case you desire the laptop for portability or space requirements, you can constantly plug in a desktop keyboard (wired or wireless).

This now brings up the idea of portability. A desktop, normally, stays where It's installed. A laptop is made for travel. you are able to do your work at hot spots (i.e. McDonald's, coffee shops, book stores, etc.) or perhaps in diverse rooms of your home; you may well be not tied down other compared to staying within the range of your wireless LAN when at home. This makes it a lot easier to sit about the porch enjoying The nice weather, going to the kitchen for any snack, or catching up on you "important" Television shows although still Generating documents.

Software packages appear to be a significant concern when buying a brand name new computer. The first consideration is that if the software you're currently employing isn't on CDs or DVDs in your possession, you may probably have to obtain them again. As a rule, software cannot be copied from one computer to another. It need to be installed on each and every computer employing it.

The second consideration is compatibility. Even In the event you do have the software on hand, some computers will not run older software. With all the changes in computers happening every two or three years, software and hardware must be verified to run Using the new system. Some systems now seem to be running 32 bit and/or 64 bit running systems. This could be essential simply because some software is honed in to one or the other of these. Currently, There's really small software out there that runs 64 bit or dual processors. this is a big Advertising and marketing game to sell computers; however, tomorrow... ?

The third consideration is cost. Software needed for a manufacturer new technique frequently expenses as much or far more than the desktop/laptop purchase. once more this depends on what you are going to make use of the method for.

As stated previously above, There is certainly hardware that will not run on the newer computer systems. Sometimes The problem is the running method of the computer the inability talk into the hardware device. Sometimes It's simply because the drivers (the translators for device to computer communication) for the device has not or will not be created.

If your new buy is to make photo output or high quality presentation output, As opposed to general documents, then you'll want to consider putting your bank account in to a printer of high quality and significantly much less into the computer itself.

The amount of hardware could also be an issue. Most laptops have 2 or 4 USB ports to plug in hardware. In the event you need a lot more you seem to be able to get a USB hub along with other added ports; however, there seem to be nonetheless some hardware devices that may not work by way of a USB hub and needs the direct connection in to the laptop USB port. A desktop can have 4 to 8 USB ports to plug into. once again a USB hub can be used for far more ports or a card can be installed within the desktop for extra ports. If this is truly a strong consideration, then you will most likely need a high end program to push all the power needed for each device.

Security is usually an issue in this day and age. The word virus gives most people a case of anxiety. There seem to be many methods to solve this problem and really like your computer. The first is get a superb anti-virus and anti-spyware program. There appear to be a lot of free ones available - some seem to be really good. There appear to be a lot of others that charge (usually yearly) - some are very good. This is a case of either read about them fro sources you trust or rely on other people that you can trust. There will always be someone who will like each one or they wouldn't all be about the market. And do not be fooled; if you have a cable (Comcast, FIOS, Cox, etc.) connection, you are always online whenever the computer is turned on. You do not need to initiate your email, Internet, or any other application to be hacked.

Another technique to secure yourself from viruses, spyware, malware, root kits, and ID theft is to create certain which you use a LAN or network that you'll be able to trust and that has security within it. Of course, the only way not to be "hit by this bus" is always to stay off of computers. But even this is not a good alternative as your bank account, your credit card, and other out-of-home shopping circumstances appear to be nearly all computerized and susceptible to being hacked.

A back up power supply along with a back up for your computer files appear to be too steps in the right direction for security. A back up power supply will help to stop a computer from being struck by a power surge. A power surge has all of the capability of entering the unit and destroying the insides which include wiping the difficult drive. the right power supply has the ability to turn off your computer when There is certainly an outage also. A back up for your computer files is very good as soon as your computer bites the dust or gets decimated by a virus. with an excellent back up process your data will usually be safe even when your computer is not.

Now that we have answered most of what you desire your computer for, what specifications (insides) are essential for this computer? Do You need a DVD drive that has the capability to write or create CDs or DVDs or just one that can read CDs (for installations) or DVDs (for movies)? How fast should the computer be? How significantly memory do you need? What size video output do you want? What about your network speed?

These can be very involved questions with no any real clear-cut answers. with out Obtaining too deep into these questions, a new computer made within the final year would be a lot more than enough for most people. Reviews online in one dependable sources can often too be a big help.

The final thought is whatever you go out and purchase, I recommend that you be glad with what you need to pay for your technique and do not look at computer sales or ads towards the next six months - because you may most likely find something newer, bigger, faster, or on sale to create you rethink your purchase. Don't.

If you need to use my experiences, then feel free to go to my site and contact me along with other any thoughts or questions. I am not the "know it all geek" and will never proclaim myself the "number one guru" but I have had my hands on and in computers since 1967 and have clients and experiences to support my convictions.

What about refurbished systems?

A refurbished program is usually a very great system. But if you wish a warranty you will want to stick with new In case you don't know anything about computers or don't require a convenient IT skilled friend.

Not surprisingly, Using the kind of your enterprise It is possible to allow access to every costumer and at the same time you can't be positive that there'd be no single person who could inadvertently wreck havoc on your setup along with your whole system.

although some may inadvertently cause damage, there are also others who does do it just because they feel like ramming someone else's computers and damaging the whole method for entertainment. You can't be certain about the customers that come to your cafe. Which emphasizes the point that you cannot leave your computers unwatched and without supervision for long. from one my experience, when you've got no protection, you'll be able to do without hours upon hours, reinstating your computer back to where they were before. Like you may possibly have nothing greater to do the whole day other compared to restoring your computer on its original state.

Getting a with all of cafe management software texts are important and it need to come, in addition to all of the other fields of security like backup, anti-virus and so forth. wonderful these, you can assure the security of your PCs and vital files, as properly as at the same time decrease the usage of any of these essential applications of your cafe system, given that you appear to be able to organized for some password protection just before any modifications could be utilized.

Yet another challenge is Decreasing and maintaining customer usage on your computers.

I cannot say for you enough how essential It's to create backups regularly. difficult disks appear to be so affordable nowadays; you fully do not have excuse not to. Experience-wise, consistently having some backups for your computer files will save you in one plenty of headaches. I had to experience having my computers crash twice, Generating me lose all my vital docs prior to I learned this lesson. You do not wish that to occur to you, would you?

you can back up your entire computers on the network and that will not take much space on your own disk, given that they ought to not have client files anyway. should a system crash, And also this occurs far more typical than you think in a working atmosphere, you would like to restart from point that just isn't at the same time significantly before.

Yet another issue which you might cope with when using a cafe is the trouble triggered by viruses and spy-wares. that is The exact reason The exact reason you'll have to have both the anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. you should frequently update them either manually or set them up to on auto-pilot update themselves so you get one of those most current version constantly. you may possibly be operating a cafe after all, so you can't cease your customers from one executing all sorts of items that may get your computers infected with malware and viruses.

Now let's discuss into the a lot more tech heavy stuff.

The database having practically all of the configurations of all the applications you've installed is your windows registry. Now, each and every time you setup or try to alter some applications, you modify your registry.

each and every time you do that, you leave mess and leftovers on your own computer registry, And also this can often help make your system, slow down or hang. you might have pointed out that a brand new computer runs faster, however, if you've used it for very a whilst it gets slower.

In case you ever just clean your registry regularly, You might build your program boost your performance. If you may have no idea the way to do it, it is possible to feel the software that could do it instantly for you. Just hunt for it around the set of software I highly recommended in my free email course.

Aside from one the cafe management software, you need to feel the standard list of Office applications, in order that your customers can open files and documents And this needed to be opened in Office programs including Word, Excel and PDF. There can be a huge probability that your client would not patronize your cafe without these applications.

In addition, you need to require a simple image application to enable your customers open their photos and pictures.

It is my mission to help you understand at the simplest terms what you have to know as a computer owner/operator in order to you to adopt back some control and save you that imminent nervous breakdown, stroke, heart attack and key financial set back.

Computers really are not all that mysterious. All types of computers contain two fundamental parts: Hardware and Software Anything you purchase for your computer may be classified as either hardware or software

1.Hardware is any part of your computer that has a physical structure, e.g. the computer monitor or keyboard If it is possible to touch it, It is hardware

"Hardware: The sections of a computer system that might be kicked." (Jeff Pesis)

2.Software is any listing of instructions that tells the hardware what to do It guides the hardware and tells it how you can accomplish each and every task Software can be downloaded from one the net or installed from a CD e.g. a program

When you have a problem together with your computer It's vital to establish whether the cause is hardware or software related. Generally if you will be able to start your computer and acquire to the windows screen with no the computer stopping, restarting, freezing, or blue screening (crashes) then The issue is possibly software related.

If your computer does not start, crashes, freezes, or restarts just before it is possible to get in the windows screen then The issue is hardware related. probably the most Popular exception to that rule is if your technique is severely infected with viruses and If so you'll need to treat those symptoms as a hardware failure although technically It is a software issue. Why for This is because the software employed to identify the hardware component has been corrupted and creates a scenario that deems the hardware as faulty.

HINT: to prove if The issue is software related

1.start the computer in safe mode by continually pressing F8 when the computer initial starts showing writing about the monitor

2.then selecting the safe mode option from one the start up options provided. This will sometimes stop the computer in one installing the corrupted software.

3.If the computer starts and you are able to obtain in to the windows screen then The problem is most likely as a result of corrupted software to get a hardware component. (do not panic if this seems a bit complex and does not work first time it takes practice even for experienced users)

I have significantly far more to say on the subject but let me know already what you think so far
